-9 (of 23) on LG, -14 (of 50) on LR, and -7 (of 27) on RC.

I'm still in school, but I'm going to try to line up easy classes Winter and Spring quarter, so that I can focus on studying for the LSAT.

Any ideas on how many months I should invest?

Start studying right now; if you score anything below a 165 on your diagnostic, you'll likely need at least 6 months to have a good chance at 180. However, if you're just shooting for low to mid 170s, then 3-4 months might be sufficient.

I can't tell if MW is joking or not but from her (?) other posts, I think she might be serious. And while I don't think it is that exact, I agree... you can't start studying too early. Familiarizing yourself with LSAT logic and section strategies takes a long ass time. That's the easy part, IMO. The hard part is putting it all together and performing at a high level consistently. I think any idiot who has studied for 6 months can score a 170 on one of 20 exams. You want a high average practice test score.
